Bill Wray is trying to make the transition fine art but is known as a cartoonist, a background painter/ Art director and sometimes animation director. This will be the place he post his ocasional animation and cartooning work and also be a place to bitch or wax sentimentally about cartoons in general. It’s been a love and hate relationship for many years and the long journey may not be quite over.

What is a Beat board?

Beat Boards are sketches for the stroyboard guy to help them with gags, posing, direction elements and in my case some art direction. this is for the Mighty Bee: Space Evaders don't know why the first frame won't open , but the rest do.

Thanks for posting these. I loved the show Mighty B! and so seeing these behind the scene development art is really something special to me. I'll never understand why nickelodeon canceled the show, or even why they gave the show such a terrible time slot. At least I have the memories. Do you know if the season will ever be released in its' entirety?

So I found out yesterday that amazon had season 1 and five episodes from season 2 for an on demand direct download. So I snatched them up right away. But looking on the wiki page for the mighty b it says there are a bunch of unaired episodes. Do you know if those episodes will ever air?

Really? The network didn't want the show to end? That's interesting to hear. Something odd must have happened to make them nix it anyway. At least this info might make the network look a little better.

To see such talent get wasted due to bad decisions in the corporate position and not because the show was bad (which many people unfortunately thought), is pretty sad, and bad for the industry people like you work so hard to preserve.

Whether it was a cartoon that was enjoyed or not (In this case, I did not), I'm sorry things didn't work out for and am proud you converted as many non-believers as possible that Americans are still capable in this day and age of producing animated efforts just as good as any other place in the world. I am thankful enough for that.
